Hans Rosling reframes 10 years of UN data with his spectacular visuals, lighting up an astonishing — mostly unreported — piece of front-page-worthy good news: We’re winning the war against child mortality. Along the way, he debunks one flawed approach to stats that blots out such vital stories.
measuring makes the diff from a political talk and making change happen

June 2014 at TEDSalon Berlin 2014:
Hans and Ola Rosling: How not to be ignorant about the world
5 min – the first thing to know about the future is to know about the present
the problem isn’t that people won’t listen to media – problem is media doesn’t know itself
Ola – why are we all so ignorant? we have a personal bias – from our neighborhood (personal bias), from outdated info in schools, news bias (focus on unusual)
so skewed info – then add on human intuition – we see causality where there is none
solve by measuring – the curing… – ignorance
1. sit down late night and learn all this
2. short cuts – turn intuition into strength – learn to generalize
ie: everything is getting worse, most things improve – pick the improve
using gdp – ugh

rip
___________
Factfulness (as frustrating read – skim) by Hans Rosling.. love the man.. rip.. but too many #s describing humanity..what about first error (describing not us)..getting us to black science of people.. and what is fact.. ie: recorded death by war/disease .. non recorded death by suicide/homelessness/disease-of-heart.. (& non recorded homeless et al).. recent ie.. puerto rico’s 5000.. et al

The New Optimists’ “progress” narrative collapses when stacked against actual science. In this new book the economist Rodrigo Aguilera examines their core claims. I’m afraid Pinker and Rosling (and a number of others) do not fare well. https://t.co/RTRUOfRrB9 (http://twitter.com/jasonhickel/status/1237702308496060420?s=17)Jason Hickel (@jasonhickel) tweeted at 6:16 AM on Wed, Mar 11, 2020:
Ironically, the “progress” narrative promoted by figures like Pinker and Rosling isn’t progressive at all, but a conservative defense of a status quo that’s leading us to disaster. This new book by economist Rodrigo Aguilera explores their core claims: https://t.co/T413ijaNKm
